I don't do many crown reductions,one or two a month max.The client asked for the tree abit smaller.I was trying for about a 30% crown reduction.

 

Does it look about right for that?

[skyhuck]

Very nice!!!

 

Were they happy??

[John Shutler]

good job mike

[Andy Collins]

Lovely job Mike, probably less than 30%, but quality over quantity anyday

[Mesterh]

Looks like a very nice job but not 30% to me, if the customer likes it then happy days

 

If I was doing 30% it wouldnt look like that

Good job. I reckon crown reductions are one of the hardest jobs to do properly in arb.................a real skill. This is one area i really want to get to grips with and improve on. As the gaffer says, Crown reductions sort the men from the boys

Clients were pleased.I thinned it a bit,the Beeches here are often full of crossing branches,took them out and kept the thinning to that.

 

Reducing it any further would probably ment that I ruined the shape I recon.

Its just practice and being a bit sympathetic imho.I did bloody streets of crown reductions and thins in London.When you are no longer having to think about every cut and doing it instinctively, producing the result thats desired.

beech always look better with a tip reduction rather than a full on 30%
